Talk about video games, movies, music, news, and technology without wading through a thousand dumb kids and dozen exclamation points after each sentence. Try it out for a few days and remember what it's like to breathe Internet air without getting two lungs full of stupid.

My guess is that most of the people that gushed over Goldeneye, didn't own the other 2 consoles. My N64 got dusted off for a couple of good games a year, then got shoved aside so I could enjoy the better stuff on Saturn and Playstation. I was not impressed with Goldeneye.

Agreed but I had friends that went nuts over the fact that it was built in 4 player mode. That was HUGE.

Most people that got into goldeneye didn't play PC games. They didn't know "what they were missing" on the other side of the fence. It was a whole new world for a console FPS. Low cost of entry multiplayer (just needed enough controllers) with unbelievable options and modifiers for a system that had no access to expansion packs or downloadable mods. The campaign lasted forever too with difficulty options that completely changed levels and unlocked stuff for multi. That game had it all.

FPS on consoles were a much different animal then, people don't remember the draw to the whole game I guess. It set new standards for content. I wouldn't play GE now, but good lord when it came out all hell broke loose. Halo before Halo was out.

Goldeneye had sticky mines, that was the only thing worth a damn in the entire game for single or multiplayer. The rest of it was slow, terrible bullshit and the singleplayer relied too much on magic spawn closets.

That said, this horse has been beaten a million times before. Lets discuss other games now.
